very little reason to go to this gig then.

but NIN is still on the bill so I'm sure it'll still be a filthy gig.
....unless of course I get batteries to my casio keyboard so I can listen to drum presets instead.

Dillinger Escape Plan join Soundwave

Although it’s yet to be confirmed by organisers, New Jersey’s Dillinger Escape Plan have let slip they’ll be playing Soundwave 2009. The masters of cerebral metal dropped the news at the end of a blog update on their website.

“We have a lot of stuff in the works, but we’ll throw out a little treat right now for our fans in Australia,” the band writes. “We’re playing Soundwave in 2009!!! We haven’t been added to the official contest web page yet because the webmasters there are slacking, but we’re definitely playing.”

Dillinger Escape Plan visited our shores in May of this year, playing a string of incendiary, full-force live shows. In the words of FasterLouder’s Sydney reviewer: “The chaos that this band delivers makes it very hard to just watch a certain member or view the stage from an angle and take it all in.” The already heavyweight Soundwave bill is about to get a whole lot more brutal…

Woo hoo!!

With the first weekend of Soundwave almost upon us, headliner Nine Inch Nails has sent out a warning to fans. A post on the festival website warns: “Due to the intense strobe lighting and size of the Nine Inch Nails light show at Soundwave 09 there is the possibility that it may induce epilepsy.” The statement urges even those with no medical history of epilepsy to be cautious.

I can just see it now...

The whole crowd falling to the ground in fits ala The Simpson in Japan!

How are people 'with no history of epilepsy' supposed to 'take caution' while NIN are playing? Look at their feet??

Soundwave was a pretty good day in the end.

Scored a cheap ticket off a scalper early on...then headed to an air conditioned pub for a few drinks.

We saw DEP...who were ok, but I've seen them perform a lot better previously...plus the sun was kind of annoying me.

Alice in Chains were fucking awesome! WAY better than when I saw them with Layne years ago. I honestly was not expecting them to be as good as they were, and they ended up blowing me away...

NIN were as impressive as always...even though they were just playing as a 4 piece. ..great light show too...
